You have to be wary of a movie that bills itself as 'the first straight-to-video computer animated holiday special from a major studio.' Weary may be the state you'll been in after this 48-minute video that is creatively bankrupt. The tale is a spinoff of the famous Nutcracker ballet: a young girl falls in love with her new toy nutcracker and is whisked away to Christmas land. Also along for the ride are various nuts (a saucy Brazilian, a baby peanut, a wise walnut... you get the idea) and various vegetables to defend Christmas against the Rat King. The film has no dazzle or inspired humor--just a dozen bad puns, three Peabo Bryson songs, and a handful of catch phrases. Of course the look is quite colorful, but it proves that the brains behind other computer-animated tales such as Toy Story and VeggieTales aren't just designers; they're storytellers first. Jim Belushi, Phyllis Diller, and Cheech Marin provide voices. Heaven forbid what the second straight-to- video computer animated holiday special from a major studio will bring. --Doug Thomas
